LENTIL SALAD

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS

For the lentil salad, place cooked lentils in a bowl. In another bowl combine garlic, shallots, lemon juice, zest, vinegar, and sun-dried tomatoes. Slowly whisk in olive oil until well blended. Season with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper and mix well. Combine dressing with lentils and set aside while preparing the chicken.

For the chicken, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour to coat them.

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan until smoking hot. Sear chicken on each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Bake for another 3 or 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Place the lentils on individual plates or on a tray. Place the chicken on top of the bed of lentils and serve hot.

Serves four.
